The Fight/Flight Shooter Identification Worksheet helps shooters understand why they react the way they do under pressure. Every shooter has an automatic nervous-system pattern that activates when stress rises. This worksheet reveals whether you are a Fight, Flight, Freeze, or Fidget shooter — and teaches you how to regulate that pattern so you can perform with calm confidence.
Using trauma-informed neuroscience and practical shooting psychology, this tool takes you beyond technique and into the real engine of performance: your subcortex. When you know your automatic reaction pattern, you gain the power to interrupt pressure, reduce tension, and stabilize your performance during every round.
⭐ WHAT’S INSIDE
1️⃣ Fight Shooter Pattern
Learn the signs of a Fight-type shooter: rushing, forcing the gun, snapping to the target, and tension spikes — plus strategies to soften your shot flow.
2️⃣ Flight Shooter Pattern
Identify hesitation, pulling away, fear of missing, and overthinking. Learn how to commit confidently and stay connected to the target.
3️⃣ Freeze Shooter Pattern
Recognize when your body locks up, posture stiffens, or movement slows — and how to re-start smooth automatic motion.
4️⃣ Fidget Shooter Pattern
Understand the nervous habits (adjusting gear, shifting feet, re-mounting) that disrupt visual clarity and consistency — and how to regulate them.
5️⃣ Personalized Regulation Plan
Write your own reset phrase, pre-shot cue, and regulation plan based on your type.
